In a recent episode of the Bill Simmons podcast, the hosts discussed some of the questions hanging over the Detroit Pistons as they prepare to enter the 2025-26 season and it was mostly negative.
Simmons talked about how important the Pistons’ vets were last season and expressed doubt that their production would be replaced by Duncan Robinson and Caris LeVert.
Simmons said that “Miami quit on Robinson 14 times over the last five years,” and mentioned his defense as a big liability that his shooting wasn’t going to balance.
He wasn’t high on Caris LeVert either, which led him to pick the Pistons to finish with fewer than their 47-win projection, though added that this could all change if the Pistons make a monster trade.
